After trying to diagnose the reason for my camera randomly shutting off and not charging I came to the conclusion that both the mini usb port on the camera was loose (pinching it with pliers fixed that) and that my battery was toast. I replaced it with a gameboy micro battery that I had from a console I was refurbishing that still held a good charge.
Just wanted to let everyone know it was successful and that the oem micro battery specs are 3.8v, 460mah. I'd assume the generic replacements on ebay will also work just fine.
Here's a pic of the install with shoddy soldering (fine tip iron was broken but my cheap spare Radioshack iron with a thick tip did the job):
